  • Patent number: 8366358
    Abstract: A rotary cutting tool that is composed of a tool shank with at least one chucking groove or chip flute and one exchangeable cutting insert. At the tip of the shank a recess for accommodating the cutting insert is provided. The tool shank, on its circumference, has a limb with a bearing surface that is inclined relative to the tool axis and that corresponds to a likewise inclined bearing surface on a wing of the cutting insert. The inclination of the bearing surfaces produces an axial force that retains the cutting insert on the tool shank.

  • Publication number: 20120238184
    Abstract: A method for providing an edge preparation on a cutting edge of a tool by means of an edge processing operation includes clamping the tool in a processing machine for providing the edge preparation, recording as a reference value the position of the cutting edge to be processed by means of a sensor arranged on the processing machine, carrying out an edge processing operation by means of a preparation tool, recording the position of the cutting edge again by means of the sensor arranged on the processing machine and storing the position as an actual value, monitoring the edge processing operation on the basis of a comparison between the reference value and the actual value, and comparing the actual value with a desired value for material removed on the cutting edge.

  • Patent number: 8142115
    Abstract: A twist drill for drilling with a countersink cutting arrangement, and a cutting tool with a countersink cutting arrangement, and a cutting-chamfering tool. The abstract of the disclosure is submitted herewith as required by 37 C.F.R. §1.72(b). As stated in 37 C.F.R. §1.72(b): A brief abstract of the technical disclosure in the specification must commence on a separate sheet, preferably following the claims, under the heading “Abstract of the Disclosure.” The purpose of the abstract is to enable the Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and gist of the technical disclosure. The abstract shall not be used for interpreting the scope of the claims. Therefore, any statements made relating to the abstract are not intended to limit the claims in any manner and should not be interpreted as limiting the claims in any manner.

  • Publication number: 20110318128
    Abstract: The invention relates to a drill tip (2) comprising a base body (6) having chip flutes (22A,B) and extending in the axial direction along an axis of rotation (8) and having at least two main cutting edges (14A,B) on the front face thereof extending outward in the radial direction to a cutting corner (16A,B). Seen in cross section, the base body is asymmetric relative to rotation about the axis of rotation (8) at the height of the cutting corner (16A,B). The cross section of the base body is simultaneously designed having symmetrical spacing from the main cutting edges (14A,B). The drill tip (2) is in particular designed as an interchangeable modular part of a modularly designed drill tip (5). A drill base body (4) in which the drill tip (2) can be inserted can therefore in turn be designed symmetrically.

  • Patent number: 8061938
    Abstract: A twist drill has double margins and a chisel edge angle of between 80 degrees and 100 degrees to maximize hole straightness and to minimize “walking” of the drill upon a workpiece. The drill may be modular having a removable tip body or the drill may be of a solid configuration. A tip body is consumable and may be removed and replaced as required.

  • Publication number: 20110097976
    Abstract: There is now provided a twist drill and a method for producing a twist drill which method includes forming a flute of a twist drill. The drill has drill material and a tip portion with a cutting lip. The drill has a land structure and a flute to remove chip residue. The land structure has a flute wall and a cutting edge structure that is disposed longitudinally along the flute wall. The cutting edge structure has a first portion at the drill tip portion and a second portion disposed away from the drill tip portion. The flute wall extends further into the land structure at the second portion of the cutting edge structure than at the tip portion to provide a greater amount of drill material at the tip portion than at the second portion of the cutting edge structure.
